My 70S was fitted a long time ago with Koni shocks and front struts, and I replaced all the shocks during my recent restoration.
The adjustable shocks are now set at nigh on the softest setting, and I’m finding that the car is just too rough to ride in. From chatting to a couple of people, Koni’s are more of a track shock because of their adjustability.
While I don’t want a soft Sachs-type ride, there has to be some middle ground. I’m interested to hear what other cars are using.
My old Carrera 2.7 ran Bilsteins and the ride in that car was fantastic, albeit with different wheel and tyre sizes.
I’m currently running Michelin XWX 185/70 R15s and the torsion bars are standard. Tyre pressure is currently a shade lower than recommended.
I welcome your thoughts and comments, as I’m not happy to stick with the Konis.
